8 lbs Grade-D Edible Cactus

$ 42.50

This is the grade of edible cactus we recommend for people who will be feeding the cactus leaves to tortoises. The cactus leaves are generally older with more fiber, but still have the healthy 'cactus mucilage' inside the leaves. These are good cactus, fried or cooked with other foods. The quality is not as good in winter, the cactus leaves get red spots from freezing dew and tend to be older. Summertime gives the very best edible cactus quality.

I ship these cactus pads in USPS Priority Mail packages. Usually I pick and ship the cactus leaves same day. Many people get their cactus within 48 hours of it being on the plant.

USPS Priority Shipping is included in the price, and is 1/3 to nearly half the cost of the cactus.Expect five to fifteen days before actual receipt of the cactus, due to weather and other factors that are common to agriculture.

This is a cactus plant that grows outdoors in the weather and has various changes through the seasons and year. It will not always be the same.
